    Are We Fishing For Souls Or Have We Become Keepers Of Aquariums?

    Today’s sermon is about Jesus calling four fishermen to follow him. We can find this story also in Mark 1:16-20.

    Jesus advised Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and become “fishers of men.” That means they were to help other people to find God. Jesus was calling them from their useful business to be spiritually useful. How many of us have heard the call and answered? We as a whole need to be ...read more

    For The Sake Of The Call

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    A new series looking at what the church is called to be. Looking at it in a little different way.

    The Church Matthew 4:18-25 September 18, 2022 Has anyone ever been talking to you and you silently wondered, and maybe if you were brave enough, you asked “so . . . what’s the point?” I once had a person telling me a story about something that happened in their life and they actually said, “to ...read more

    Fishing For Men

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 16, 2022
     | 1,549 views

    Look at what they did when they were called. Did they ask permission from anyone to go and why did they go?

    Jesus had told Peter and Andrew to quit their fishing business and become “fishers of men,” to help other people discover God. Jesus was calling them from their earthly trade to a spiritual trade. How many of us have heard the call and answered? If we all were to do what Christ taught and spread ...read more

    Be Like Jesus Series

     | 3,774 views

    As part of our calling to discipleship we seek to become like Jesus in every way.

    Matthew 4:18-22 When we read the Great Commission in Matthew 28 it can become easy for the church – followers of Jesus – to take it in with a “been there, done that” kind of attitude. After all, we’ve heard those words repeatedly, many of us for our entire lives. But this morning ask yourself a ...read more

    Why We Are Here

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021
     | 4,221 views

    I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

    The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

    More Than A Prayer (8) - "lead Us Not Into Temptation"

     | 1,711 views

    The Lord's prayer is much more than a prayer guide. It helps us to know more about our father in heaven.

    TEXT: Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." TEMPTATION Temptation is an act of being enticed to do evil by arguments, flattery or by the offer of real or apparent good. The ...read more

     | 5,457 views

    In this period of 400 years when the Lord chose to remain silent, everything in the temple continued as it always had. The rituals of worship, sacrifices, feasts and festivals were carried out with regularity, but the dismal part was that the Lord was not in it. Why?

    Repent - The first message of Lord Jesus Matthew 3:1-2:“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (RSV) Matthew 4:17: “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” ...read more

     | 2,508 views

    The allegory of light and darkness is used widely in the bible. What does it signify? Are we walking in the light or still stumbling in the dark? This sermon will sure help us evaluate ourselves to see where we stand.

    As we continue our study this topic of ‘Freedom from Bondage’ we recognize that it is indeed the will of God that His people should be liberated from every sin and bondage. In this chapter we will study the metaphor of light and darkness, which is widely used in the Bible to explain this concept of ...read more
